Tamil Nadu, South Indian Carved Wood Water Buckets, Early 20th Century

About the Item

A pair of wooden water vessels with lovely old repairs from the early 20th century, Tamil Nadu, South India. This pair of antique wooden buckets from South India, originally used as water dippers, have been hand carved from a single piece of wood, have rounded bodies which taper down towards their bottom. There are wonderful old repairs/mending, which we feel adds so much character to these pieces, with their dark wood and rich patina. These Tamil Nadu buckets, from the early 20th century, are a great way to create a beautifully rustic touch within a room, used on their own, or as storage pieces for holding smaller objects.

Early 20th Century English Leather Fire Bucket, 1900
Located in Petworth,West Sussex, GB
An Early 20th Century Antique Tan Leather Fire Bucket Dating to the late Victorian period, circa 1900, this antique tan leather fire bucket is a fascinating and decorative piece of history. Likely originating from an English country house, it features a beautifully aged patina that exudes character and charm. The bucket is crafted from richly hued tan leather, which has gracefully aged with amber tones, showcasing a light, time-worn finish. The hessian-lined interior is remarkably clean for its age, making it both visually appealing and versatile for use or display. Adding to its allure is the original rolled leather carry handle, which enhances its practicality and aesthetic. The fascia is adorned with a Royal coat of arms, further highlighting its heritage and significance. These buckets were traditionally used as fire extinguishers, with water being fetched from nearby sources like rivers or fountains. By the 20th century, the modernization of fire brigades had largely rendered them obsolete, turning items like this into treasured collectibles. This antique leather fire bucket...
